It is Il- Penn State at Ohio State postponed linois’ largest margin vs. Purdue in a three-game winning streak since Jan. 8, 2005-Jan. 28, 2006 (+20.3). • Illinois went on a game-changing 20-5 run over a 4:55 stretch of the second half (15:35-10:40) to flip a 6-point deficit (33-39) into a 9-point lead (53-44). Thursday, Jan. 7 Indiana at Wisconsin 6 p.m. FS1 • Kofi Cockburn had 14 points on 7-of-9 from the field with 10 rebounds, his 19th career double-double Iowa at Maryland 6 p.m. ESPN2 and seventh this season (second in NCAA). Illinois at Northwestern 8 p.m. BTN • Da’Monte Williams had 12 points and tied his career high with 10 rebounds, recording his second career double-double and second of the season. • Williams was 3-of-5 shooting from three today. He leads the nation in 3-point shooting at 67.9% (min. Friday, Jan. 8 20 attempts). Williams is 9-of-12 from three in Big Ten play. Purdue at Michigan State 6 p.m. FS1 • Andre Curbelo had six highlight-reel assists to go along with 8 points. Curbelo leads the Big Ten in as- sists during league play at 6.6 apg. Saturday, Jan. 9 Ohio State at Rutgers 11 a.m. BTN Dominant Dosunmu The production of junior guard Ayo Dosunmu is up significantly across the board in 2020-21. And that’s Michigan at Penn State 1:15 p.m. BTN coming off an impressive sophomore campaign where he earned first-team All-Big Ten accolades. Here is a look at Dosunmu’s current numbers compared to a year ago: Sunday, Jan. 10 YEAR PPG RPG APG FG% 3FG% FT% Minnesota at Iowa 1:30 p.m. BTN 2020-21 23.0 7.0 5.0 51.4 42.1 80.3 2019-20 16.6 4.3 3.3 48.4 29.6 75.5 Indiana at Nebraska 5 p.m. BTN Change +6.4 +2.7 +1.7 +3.0 +12.5 +4.8 Maryland at Illinois 7 p.m. BTN Dosunmu is the only player in the NCAA averaging at least 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on the season. How difficult would it be to maintain such lofty numbers? Consider that dating back to 1992-93, only three players have posted those stats for an entire year: Memphis’ Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway in 1993, Morehead State’s Ricky Minard in 2004, and Ohio State’s in 2010.
